Property Description

Riverfront parcel just below awesome Waiale Falls in magical Pi'ihonua with river access! Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase the 2nd highest home on the mighty Wailuku River, the greatest river in Hawaii! Located in Pi'ihonua Camp 3, a close-knit community once part of the Mauna Kea Sugar plantation that still offers unique connections to old Hawaii with an active kumiai (Japanese burial society) & kaikan (community assembly hall.) Across the street & behind the old Pi'ihonua School (now Hilo Child Development Center) is Moanikeala, the legendary estate of plantation manager Kimo Henderson & his wife Lydia Lei Macy (of Macy's Department Stores) celebrated in the hula mele of the same name as well as the Kimo Henderson Hula, this classic plantation home is over 90 years old and ready for some TLC or can serve as your base camp while you design your dream home closer to the river on this gently sloping lot. A secret anthurium & hapu'u (tree fern) garden slumbers beneath the shade of an ancient lychee tree on the riverbank, where the path leads directly to a great private swimming hole in the river. A large tributary joins the river just below this parcel and can be seen from the kitchen & dining area of the home, which is tenant occupied & listing agent owned. Conveniently located just above the hospital and downtown Hilo, yet feels like living in the forest as there are no homes across the river, a unique and precious jewel not to be missed! - See more at: http://www.alohaliving.com/search/details/?idxid=HawaiiInformationService&searchstyle=mlsnum&mlsnum1=602448&mlsnum2=&mlsnum3=&mlsnum4=&mlsnum5=&mlsnum6=&mlsnum7=&mlsnum8=&mlsnum9=&mlsnum10=&sorttype=price&sortdir=desc&resultview=list&linkmlsnum=602448#sthash.XBEdNOhK.dpuf
